Two simulated
T. rex jawbones reveal how a small bone (not visible) that spans a joint (white arrow) provides for a strong bite. In a version where that bone is not intact (top), the jawbone flexes, which prevents stress induced by a bite at one tooth (black arrow) from transferring effectively across the joint. But in a jawbone in which that bone is intact (bottom), the more rigid joint transfers stresses effectively, enabling greater bite forces.

It’s important to know this, why?

I always wondered why depictions of T-Rex have such small arms and hands.
They flop around and seem useless.
It’s not as if those arms can bring food the the animals mouth, or are even remotely useful in a fight.
